I use IPF export/Import as well.
Tip: When you import change your Class to Drawing Format > Tassy or
Bassy (or other created subclasses). You can also use Board Geometry
Class.
Note: If you do this it will not create Pen subclasses under the
Manufacturing Class.
Create Detail > at one time had an issue with figures but that may have
been corrected, I don't remember the version it was some time ago.

I have been using IPF due to the fact I get readable/searchable text
within my PDF plots
I scale to whatever fits the page.

Hey Guys,
For those of you that create an Assembly Drawing, do you scale up the
outline/assemblies to better fit in the drawing?
For years I had used File -> Export -> IPF to create an Intermediate
Plot File for both Top and Bottom.
I would then use File -> Import -> IPF, then RMB to scale and mirror as
necessary.
Lately I've been using Manufacture -> Dimension/Draft -> Create Detail.
How do you create your Assembly Drawing? Is there another way (better?)
that I'm not aware of?
Thanks!
